David Allen Co. MS Golf Tournament to be held June 12
May 21, 2009
The David Allen Company MS Gold Tournament will be held on
Friday, June 12, at the Heritage Hunt Golf and Country Club in Gainesville, Va.
Spearheaded by Phil and Kathy Holcomb, partnered with the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society, the 15th annual charity event unites golfers for
a day of fun, fundraising and awareness about MS. Registration is $300 per
person and will begin at 10 a.m. Additional sponsorship opportunities are
available.
The David
Allen Company, one of America’s top flooring contractors, is currently
recruiting participants and sponsors, as well as looking for raffle prize
donations. Participants will enjoy a complete program of special events,
including 18 holes of golf, lunch, and raffle prizes at the awards banquet
after golf.
Twenty
years ago, Kathy Halcomb was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an
unpredictable neurological disease that interrupts the flow of information from
the brain to the body. The symptoms of MS can be varied and often
unpredictable, ranging from numbness and imbalance to paralysis and blindness.
There is no cure for MS.
In the
first year, the David Allen Company MS Golf Tournament raised $800, but last
year netted an all-time high of $80,000, that was donated to the National
Capital Chapter to support local programs and services for people affected by
the disease.
